AFCWEST 1,238 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Chiefs are receiving calls on multiple offensive linemen. Among them, Duvernay-Tardif has come up in discussions. Of note, the veteran does have a no-trade clause. Duvernay-Tardif had a shot to start at right guard this season and then broke a bone in his hand. Expected to miss four to six weeks, his absence opened the door for Smith to secure the spot on the offensive line. Duvernay-Tardif started 14 games for the Chiefs during the 2019 season and has made 57 starts dating back to the 2015 season. Entering his age-30 season, he is likely viewed as expendable depth for a team who might benefit from adding more talent on the defensive side. If Duvernay-Tardif is willing to accept a trade, seeing an opportunity to start elsewhere, there would be interest. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed just 20 total pressures in 592 pass-block snaps in 2019. While he isn’t strong as a run blocker, teams with young quarterbacks would likely covet someone who can keep the face of their franchise protected. %7B oldtimer and Iluvhouse24 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 It would be nice to unload Wylie's $2 million or LDT's $5 million although I think LDT would have some dead money. Every million counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree: Still can only roster 9 or 10. I think, Long & LDT must be on the roster first to place on IR. So who gets cut? Cant guarantee anyone cut goes to PS.

Of course if those are serious I'd have to adjust. Long is old and Remmers is an OL w/ back problems so I'm not that optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thompson and Gore cut. Smith looks to be a stud, but I'd keep LDT around just in case the clotting issue arises. There's no sure thing in these matters and prefer to have a serviceable backup just in case. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCWEST 1,238 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Chiefs waive RB Darwin Thompson, per The Kansas City Star’s Sam McDowell. Chiefs waived RB Darwin Thompson. Thompson, Kansas City's sixth-round selection in the 2019 draft, failed to transition his Mountain West-high yards after contact per carry (5.07) in his final collegiate year into the NFL, totaling 80 career touches behind Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy, Darrel 'The Mentor' Williams, Le'Veon Bell, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire the past two years. His loss is another man's gain as this move is simultaneously a tremendous sign that CEH walks into Week 1 at full health. Thompson could land on a practice squad elsewhere prior to the regular season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Surprised with the Durant move. Definitely looked like he was a good UDFA pick but didn't expect him to bring anything back in a trade.

It's nice to have players that can play multiple positions but an OL that suffers so many injuries need to back up every single position. Adding another game to the schedule doesn't make it easier for trenches. Having 10 linemen makes a lot of sense for the Chiefs. Blythe has been a decent starter with veteran experience, that's worth a roster spot IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting picks right after one of the worst OL performances within a season is really rare YASIR DURANTT, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS Patriots acquired OL Yasir Durant from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2022 seventh-round pick. A second-year UDFA, Durant made zero regular season appearances as a rookie. A three-year starter at left tackle for Mizzou, Durant was billed as wide-bodied with 82nd-percentile arm length (34 3/4") coming out of the SEC. He is already 24 years old, so there is not much to do in the way of projection here. RELATED: Kansas City Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Curious what HC has turned the most functional QBs in the last 10-15 years. Not A list, but adequate as backup or bottom tier starters even. I'd have to lean to Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
